Sure, and that, like any other, can be brought to the cleanup version of the thread to see about trimming the entry back down. CM isn't the only trope that sort of thing happens on, and fixing it is pretty routine.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallYeah. I think the Nightmare fuel thread has also had to do that a couple of times. Where people balloned stuff they rewrote. So they refixed it back.

"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."Basically, I personally think that whole on rewrites (so mass expansions, trimmings, and ground-up rewrites) should still be curated, but anything else (SPAG, spoiler tags, rewordings) would be fair game for anyone. That’s just my thoughts.
the consensus there was in the edit reasons, actually. The only concern there was finding the edit, but ctrl+F easily does that

There's a difference between them saying "hey, xuz is wrong, I changed it on YMMV can someone run it through locked" and asking someone to come to the thread just to say "xyz is wrong can i fix it on an unlocked page" and the latter feels like it's contributing to the general "only the beautiful elite can contribute" feeling we're trying to address

HAPPY HALLOWEEN FOR MARIANoting minor changes(like spelling/grammar) seems fine, but it doesn't need to go through the thread if it's not a major rewrite. It's good to let us know, though, if only other information we may want to add to the other versions of the entry, where applicable.
Remember, while we're a cleanup thread, we're trying to avoid ownership issues here. And "any entry rewritten needs to go through us" regardless of the context is getting a bit too close to ownership problems.
Shadow?

I’m not saying it can’t be cleaned up, but the only major concern I have with just making it fair game is that most “unapproved” edits that aren’t just rephrasings are people blowing it up like a balloon until it’s a wall of text.
